ALL-IRELAND CAMOGIE CHAMPIONS Cork have been welcomed home by thousands of supporters at an event in Grand Parade this evening.

Sunday’s final defeat of Galway (2-14 to 0-19) saw Cork land their second All-Ireland senior camogie title in three years – and third in four – while denying Galway back-to-back titles in front of a record crowd of 33,419 at Croke Park.

Today, the team brought the O’Duffy Cup back to Cork, where they were welcomed home by a strong crowd.
